Elina Garanca - Così fan tutte - Come Scoglio immoto resta

[HappyLuckyGlad]

brilliant

[nonoetlulu84]

absolument magnifique! je la connaissais dans un répertoire plus romantique, et Mozart est bien servi ici! bravo!

[wanda984]

brava!das klingt perfekt!

...not to mention, herself, lol. Elina's voice blooms so beautifully in the lower register, it doesn't have the emotional bite I'm looking for. Mozart is such a master. He really knows voices and emotions so well, that he marries the voice type to the character and the voice leading perfectly!

[KarineRibbens]

@MissJessyeNorman I absolutely agree!!!! ;)

[KarineRibbens]

@MissJessyeNorman I absolutely agree!!!! ;) And I have never heard Elina sing ''big, juicy, rich low notes'' although she has a beautifl voice...

@MissJessyeNorman

I disagree! Elina still sounds beautiful in the lower register. And emotionally she improved a lot. Don't forget this recording is made in 2006! But still then Elina was my favorite Mezzo and she still is! Mozart must have a voice like her's in mind when he wrote this aria! Love it!

[MissJessyeNorman]

@MusikPiratCH How can you disagree by saying she sounds beautiful in the lower register, when I said that lol?

If you don't think that the juxtaposition of the beauty of the high notes with that of the gutteral low notes makes for the comedy that Mozart intended, in how and what Fiordiligi is trying to convince her suitors of, in juxtoposition to how she feels...then I get why you disagree.

But I would ask, why do you think a purely beautiful sound illustrates her emotional turmoil better?

[MusikPiratCH]

@MissJessyeNorman

First you'll have to match Mozart's beautiful sound what is difficult enough. To work on emotion will follow later. I can even hear more emotions in beautiful sounds than in a emotional bad sound.

[MissJessyeNorman]

@MusikPiratCH I meant in this scene, character, and aria specifically, not in music in general. And I didn't say a bad sound, I said a gutteral sound. It's still a beautiful sound in the soprano voice, but there's a touch of farce in it. What I was asking was how do you feel about Fiordiligi? Why do you think a mezzo voice is better suited to her conflict in this piece, meaning the text and subtext, and how does that translate given the tessitura and the range of the piece in your mind?

[MissJessyeNorman]

Hmm, she certainly handles the aria beautifully, and I always thought I would prefer the aria in a mezzo voice if I got the chance to hear it.

Now that I have, I think I do actually prefer the soprano voice in this. As usual Mozart knows better than me, lol. I like the gutteral way the soprano voice sounds when she descends from a very high note to a very low note; it really works with the character of what she is saying, what she is trying to convince the Albanian suitors of...

[MissJessyeNorman]

I've always wanted to hear a talented mezzo do Come Scoglio, because I wanted to hear big, juicy, rich low notes, what fun! To those having the voice type discussion, here's my two cents. Although voice types do define tessitura, (which they do because of where the voice wants to live, and where it blooms, not where it CAN go) voice type doesn't define range. Mezzos and contraltos can sing as high as sopranos, thier music just doesn't tend to live in the stratosphere for the reasons above.

bel canto, bel face, bel body, the star 10/10*****

[suzanneetmoi]

Actually, the ranges of Dorabella and Fiordiligi overlap and cross all over the place, which is why Ms.Garanca can sing the arias of both...

[bodiloto]

brava ,canta con la sua vera voce ! Posizione di voce un po bassa ,interpretazione un po fredda ma bella .brava .

[dalilulis]

excelente!!!!

[MARJALET2]

Una versión muy consegida

Elina está muy bien,pero lo que me

parece impresionante es la orquesta y el director

Están perfectos

¿Alguien sabe quiénes son ?

[Dogaradodia]

[Liquidovitale]

[setantacuchulain]

I also like the orchestra, who's the conductor?

[elkatemendelaopera]

@setantacuchulain Camerata Salzburg, Louis Langree is conducting.

[leonciodavid]

Increíble cantante, una voz formidable y muy lindo rostro.

Genial!

[jacquesurlus]

Magnifique, je préfère sa Fiordiligi à sa Dorabella bien que je crois qu'elle peut chanter les deux rôles, elle est merveilleuse.

[lipera]

Elina is a mezzo for sure.

thanks

[joanabanyeres]

E per soprano, ma Elina che cosa e?. Mezzo dubbio...

[bodiloto]

@joanabanyeres brava,bella domanda ! senza dubbio Elina hà la voce di soprano .

[italianoameta]

@bodiloto penso pure io che lei ha voce da soprano

[bodiloto]

@italianoameta  anch'io sono convinto che Garanca é soprano

[taf289]

@italianoameta Elina è un mezzo soprano; per aiutarti a distinguere meglio, visto che non è facile effettivamente, confronta con Netrebko, Bartoli, Ciofi etc etc.taf289

[italianoameta]

@taf289 se vai a sentire dove lei hai il 'passaggio' ti accorgi che lei è soprano , in più un mezzo soprano non ha dei acuti (le note dopo passaggio) che girano,,,, solo i soprani.
